MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian stock markets jumped 3.4 percent on Tuesday to post their best single-day gain in more than two years as gains throughout Asia and relief about the government's commitment to its fiscal deficit target for the next fiscal year boosted sentiment.
The broader Nifty rose 3.37 percent to end at 7,222.30, marking its biggest daily gain since September 2013 when the country was in the midst of its worst currency crisis in more than two decades. It had earlier gained as much as 3.5 percent.
The benchmark BSE Sensex jumped 3.38 percent.
